I am running a FreeBSD server on a network for a company.
The company has recently decided to store more critical
data on this server. If anything should happen, downtime
would be an important consideration. So, I was thinking
about running a second drive which is updated nightly to
mirror the first. That way, when disaster strikes I can
just swap drives with a minimum of down time and then
replace the defective drive at my leisure. My question
concerns the setup of the second drive. I know that if
I proceed on my own I'll pick a method that is way more
difficult than it needs to be. So, my question is, what
is the easiest way to mirror a FreeBSD installation from
one hard drive onto another?
Thanks for any input.
